Very Van Gogh
-oh my god. these are the pictures made by that man that cut off his ear.
-well, what did he do a thing like that for?
-my mom says that he did it to feel pain or sad or something.
-that is wicked cool. i mean to just cut yourself like that and not be scared. he is really brilliant. i like this van gogh guy. think we can be like him?
-nah, i’m not cutting my ear off. plus, he’s dead.
-come on. let's go see his other pictures. i wonder if mom will buy one?
-he is awesome!

I love all your drabbles, but this has to be one of my favourites. Perhaps because it includes two of my favourite painters - Vincent and John Wilson.
ReplyDeleteI love this drabble! Very fun...
ReplyDeleteThanks Rayna. I love John Wilson's work also and Van Gogh was genius.
ReplyDeleteJan, thank you. I love to do drabbles from the perspective of a child. I try to think of my own kids when doing these.
ReplyDeleteVery fun! Nice drabble!
ReplyDeleteThat was fun! Has a very authentic voice :)
ReplyDeletethank you Maciek. I love kid drabbles! I plan to ask my children to write one or two in the future. :D
ReplyDeleteJemi,
ReplyDeleteI really try to do it from the perspective of whomever I writing for. In this case, it was two children discussing art. Thanks for reading.
Seriously? That's a photo by van gogh? It's horrible. Love the drabble. I also checked out the other blog and joined. Way to go!

Neat drabble. No cutting of ears for me, either, but I love Van Gogh.
ReplyDeleteI'd never heard the word drabble before now. Off to Google it...thanks!
ReplyDeleteCool drabble :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for your visit and comment..What’s a drabble? Don’t quite get this, but will investigate further. Are they the children you teach? Is it a field trip?
